## Abstract Excess neuronal activity upregulates the expression of two neurotrophins, nerve growth factor (NGF) and brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in adult hippocampus. Nerve growth factor has been shown to contribute the induction of aberrant hippocampal mossy fiber sprouting in the inne

The cell death regulatory protein, Bcl-2, has been suggested to participate in the pathophysiology of various neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). The cognitive function and histopathologic sequelae after controlled cortical impact brain injury were evaluated in transgenic
Using insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)-overexpressing transgenic (Tg) mice as a model, we have shown that IGF-I promotes myelination by increasing the number of oligodendrocytes and stimulating the expression of myelin-specific protein genes. In the present study, we investigated whether IGF-I p
By using transgenic mice that overexpress human beta-amyloid precursor proteins (APPs) at levels twofold higher than endogenous APPs, following introduction of the human APP gene in a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC), we examined the effects of controlled cortical impact (CCI) brain injury on neuro
## Abstract Despite the general capacity of peripheral nervous system to regenerate, peripheral nerve injury is often followed by incomplete recovery of function, sometimes with the burden of neuropathic pain. The mechanisms of both regeneration and nociception have not been clarified, but it is kn
